Doucet 2-1 due to Riding time.
Dude needs to develop an offense. His shots are slow and predictable. Plus, I hate how we 'go' with about 20 seconds left....You're down, go the entire time and if you get caught, oh well....No urgency imo.

If anyone's interested--6 lower seeds won their opening match at 125 (the least chalky weight class)
133--3 lower seeds
141--2 lower seeds
149--1 lower seed
157--2 lower seeds
165--5 lower seeds
174--3 lower seeds
184--4 lower seeds
All chalk at 197 and HWT.

What has happened to Tate Picklo? All we heard his senior year at MHS was how he’d be the next big thing in collegiate wrestling. Lost his opening match 9-1.
Tate lost to Romero who I think won or has been in the finals the past two years in the Big 12. I think Romero was off at the Big 12's. Romero is tough and wrestled that way today.
Some of the smaller Big 12 schools (the affiliates, really) are showing WHY it's so good that they're in the Big 12 for wrestling. A guy like Andrew Alirez wouldn't have a chance to compete for a national championship if he wasn't competing against top flight competition like he does in the Big 12. It's been really fun to see the Utah Valleys and Northern Iowas of the world be able to have their moment--maybe not competing for team championships, but having honest to God individual championship threats. Alirez, Keckeisen, and Hendrickson are all contenders to win their weight classes. As long as they don't run into any Cowboys, I'll be rooting for them all the way.
First round thoughts…
125) wasn’t expecting a win but didn’t think the match would look like that.
133) was expecting that
141) really injured
149) common theme throughout the year, can’t find a way to win close ones and finish shots.
157) should of been a easier win
165) didn’t expect much
174) didn’t look ready, but was aggressive on his feet
185) looked good
197) looked good
285) didn’t do anything

Plott will have to avenge an ugly loss from earlier in the season. Rough match up for him and I don't feel great about his chances. Hope he has a winning strategy lined up. I am seeing something like a 6-4 record in the first wave in this next session. Witcraft, Fix, Voinovich, Gfeller, Sheets, and Wittlake winning with Young, Plott, Surber, and Doucet dropping close matches.
Can't be unlimited.Iowa would abuse that.
This was some spectacularly bad luck for Reece. He really came on at the end of the season to get 3rd in the Big 12s. Then he got stuck with a TERRIBLE draw against Pat Glory, then a concussion.
Carter looking rough. Needs a redshirt and a reset.
Carter's wrestling on one leg.
We aren't gonna see that from Wyatt today either, so....
OSU wrestling looking like a snoozefest so far. We need takedowns. We look more like Iowa than PSU with our offense. My wife and I met at OSU and went to the St Louis tournament were we won it all with 5 champs. I thought we would go to Tulsa until she told me OSU was "boring" to watch. Kind of sad to be honest. She use to love it but like us all she misses the "spark" that OSU wrestling once had.

I wish we looked like Iowa. We more like Iowa Central.
It is not even that. I just miss the spark and scrappiness we once had. I have seen so many other programs (Iowa State,UNI,etc) who have had coaching changes or less talent compete and often times beat OSU. I can't help but think having all OSU guys on staff is not a good thing. Look at the coaching staffs around the country. You will see most have names who were big time wrestlers at other schools. I think an array of techniques from different coaches makes one more well rounded. We are getting some good recruits but we just don't develop them and get them to the next level. We need at least 1 coach on staff who is a master motivator and can get more out of our guys.
Gfeller getting worked.He is the one who looks like he has a concussion. Gfeller,Sheets, Witcraft,Young,and Doucet would not have made the team in early 2000's. Not sure why we can't do better but I can't help but think there is a coach out there that could change our current situation.
Voinovich looking sharp.
Voinovich looking sharp.
Looked like G hurt his shoulder in that scramble at the end of his first match.
